Suspected burglar shot dead

An alleged burglar was shot to death by East Jakarta police
after he attempted to escape while accompanying the officers to
find his two accomplices on Jl. Cipinang Muara II over the
weekend.

Asmuni, 35, whose body was laden with tattoos, was shot in the
head, leg and back while his hands were still handcuffed, police
said.

The police claimed that they were forced to fire at the
suspect after he failed to heed their warning shots. He died
instantly.

Asmuni had been caught red-handed while trying to break into a
drug store at the Jatinegara Timur market.(bsr)
